Vapi Pricing
Guys, if I use the Vapi Startup plan, and I exceed the included minutes, regardless of my agent's configuration (STT, LLM, TTS), will I always pay $0.16 per minute regardless of the agent's configuration?

Hi Ajax,
Vapi’s base cost is $0.05/min, but total cost depends on your chosen providers:
- STT (e.g., Deepgram): ~$0.01/min
- LLM (e.g., GPT-3.5-turbo): ~$0.02/min
- TTS (e.g., ElevenLabs): ~$0.04/min
So the total is usually ~$0.14–$0.15/min, but can be higher with premium providers. For full details, see the Estimating Costs guide.
